==A quick guide to socketing gems== Gem sockets come in four colours: Red, Blue, Yellow and Meta. In order to enjoy the "socket bonus" of an item, each socket must be filled with a gem of the corresponding colour. For example, if a breastplate has two blue sockets and a yellow socket, and has a listed socket bonus of "+4 stamina", you will only gain the bonus stamina if the you have a blue gem in each of the two blue sockets, and a yellow gem in the yellow socket. Any other arrangement of gems can be socketed (red gems in blue sockets, for instance), but you will not benefit from the socket bonus. As well as red, blue and yellow gems, there are purple, green and orange gems. A purple gem counts as either a red or blue gem for socketing, a green gem blue or yellow, and orange gems count as red or yellow. In the example above, you could use three green gems and still get the socket bonus! Finally, meta gems fit only in a meta slot, and require certain numbers of other gems to be socketed in items you're wearing for their benefits to be enjoyed. For example, a particular diamond requires "at least two blue gems and two red gems" and provides +12 Intellect, you gain the +12 int if you have two or more blue gems and two or more red gems socketed total amongst all your currently equipped items. For the purpose of satisfying meta gems, purple, green and orange gems count as *both* their primary colours. So our example diamond could be satisfied by just two purple gems. You can change the gem in a given socket at any time. However, the gem being replaced is destroyed. It's a good idea to socket an item with cheap common gems until you're happy with the mix, and then replace them with rare gems giving higher values of the same stats.
